How does transverse waves move?

When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.


These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?

the answer to this question is transverse wave


What are characteristics of water waves make them transverse waves?

There are many forms of water waves. The characteristics of water waves that are transverse waves are that the particles of the wave move perpendicular to the direction the wave moves.


Do ocean waves travel in longitudinal waves?

No, they are transverse a water particle moves perpendicular to the motion of the wave (water particles move up and down where are the wave moves left or right)


What is the difference between how transverse waves and longitudinal waves move particles?

In transverse waves, particles move in a parallel & perpendicular direction relative to the direction of energy transport.


What is a wave in which particles move up and down?

Transverse Wave.


What are the waves that travel up and down?

It need not go up and down. Assuming the wave moves "forward", the individual particles may move up and down, or left and right - or diagonally. In any case, the individual particles move at right angles to the movement of the wave, because that is what "tarnsverse" means.


How do wave particles move?

Particles in transverse waves oscillate in a vertical motion. (they move up and down, Just in case ;))


What transverse wave means?

The particles in a transverse wave are displaced perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion. For example, water waves are transverse waves. Think of how in the sea, the wave is moving towards the shore, but the water goes up and down. The water molecules are being displaced vertically, but the wave itself is moving horizontally. This is the characteristic motion of a transverse wave. Transverse waves are also able to move through a vacuum. Light, for example, is a transverse wave, and it can move through space, which is a vacuum. (A longitudinal wave, on the other hand, has particles which move in the same direction as the wave, and cannot travel through a vacuum. For example, sound waves.)


If transverse waves dont move how do transverse waves transfer light from one place to another?

Of course it moves. The whole idea of a "wave" is that it moves.


Which particles move parallel to wave motion?

The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.


What does air move from?

air moves from particles to particles
